standeth she in doubt But tell her tale with spirit bolde Lyke as a bawdy queane should That neuer was good yong nor olde To bring her purpose about ¶ Then wyll she say to this woman quickly Alas good Mistresse it is great pitie I heare say ye liue not merely Your Husband to you is vnkynd But if you wyll doo after mee I warrant you and your honesty Ye shall neuer desteyned be And also haue a dayly friend ¶ Also your Husband is often absent Wherwith youth is not content And maketh the Woman often to repent As many haue done ere this Therfore youth desireth the company Of them that be yong fresh and lusty To passe away the time pleasantly Therfore take ye time whan it is ¶ And one thyng I put you in assurance There is a Gentleman of mine acqueintance whiche in you hath put his affiance And loueth you with all his hart Wherfore I beseeche you hartely Come one day and keepe hym company And we wyll haue a chamber secretly And at your pleasure to departe ¶ And whan she hath showed her entent And seeth the wyll not to her consent Then sayeth she to her incontinent I wolde for no worldly treasure Doo or say that thing that should sownd To your dishonestly for a thousand pownd And yet more ouer I dare be bownd It shall neuer be to your displeasure Yet some yong woman wil al Bawds deīye And saith she loueth not the company Of those Harlots that vse such bawdry for many good women they spill O good Mistris a Bawde not so Saith this Bawde againe her vnto It is one honest woman for another to doo In such case their pleasure to fulfyl ¶ For I know well the course must be had Of this world both with good and bad And specially with suche as be lad In the Chaine of their flooryshyng youth Wherfore good Maistresse haue no dreede For ye shall haue me as sure in déede As a trustie friende at euery néede I promys you for a trueth ¶ Wyll ye not sée this harlot bawdy H●w she calleth all this honestie ●o entice a woman to lyue viciously Is not this a pyteous case But if she should haue her true hire ●●●nt should she bée in a hot fire 〈◊〉 eache all other how they desire An honest woman to a bawdy place ¶ Thus wyl this strumpet with faire words féede This good yong woman whiche is in dréede For to consent to any suche deede Were it not for such Harlots inticement Wherby she is brought into this follie Regardyng nothyng her owne honestie But makes her a promys firme faithfully To come to her at leasure conuenient Yet wyl not this Bawd ieaue her babblyng Tyll she haue got from her somthyng Either her Bracelets or els a Ryng This wyll she of her be sure Then she goeth thence as mery as a Pye Home to her Hospytall of Bawdrie And sheweth the man all the matter plainly How she hath brought her to lure ¶ But who be they that those Bawdes bée Be they the poore olde women trow ye Nay nay they be of a hier degree They be of the gorgeous sort They be those that can them selfe paynt No man by their coūtinance can thē attaint For they looke as smooth as it were a Saint Sad both of countenance and of porte ¶ Yea perhaps she weare a Hood of Veluet A Kyrttell of Grograyne or fine Worstet Of Satten Damask or Chamlet Begarded fringed as a womā of substāce That no man lyuyng but he would trust His wyfe to go where euer she lust With this Strumpet false and vniust In whome is no grace nor affiance ¶ Wherby oftentimes men are begylde And their Wyues honestie cleane exylde And many yong Maydens be get with childe through their subtyll vngracious counsell But I would euery man would consent That they might haue condigne punishment For if their tongues were from their mouths rent yet were they serued but too well ¶ O ye Bawdes abhominable Shameles wretches most miserable Amend your liues vituperable But sure I think ye be past remedy Wherfore except ye doo amend I feare ye shall alow discend With the Deuyll of hell to make your end And there to raigne perpetually ¶ The Deuyll in you hath taken such place That ye be past all shame and grace So that ye may get money apace Or els some other rewarde Ye care not how many ye bryng to nought In euery corner ye shall be sought For the Deuyl in you so déepe hath wrought That nothing God ye regarde ¶ O ye yong women in your youth lusty Which haue taken vpon you matrymony Wherby ye be bound and that onely Your husband all other aboue To loue and please in specyall And not to be vniuersall Nor haue affeccyon to any at all But only him to loue ¶ Also beware ye yong Maydens I say Ye may se how that euery day Many take leaue and ren a way as great as they may wagge Wandrynge abroade al ouer the countrée Compelled to steale or run away Or els to that the best of thrée To go with a Staffe and a Bagge ¶ Wherfore take héede ye do not incline To any of these Bawdes neither course nor fine In any wise folowe not their lyne But let them syt with yll rest Stop tast your eares heare not their tale For if ye do ye set on sale Good name and honestie for euer to fayle Wherfore trust not to their false behest ¶ Their wordes be hony their counsell is gall A great stronge poyson infernall That poysoneth body soule and all Suche is their operation For that which the Deuyll with all his power May not obtayne thoughe he conioure They wyll bryng it to passe within an houre With their swéete cōmunycation ¶ O ye men the whiche maintayne Suche bawdy queanes thus for to raigne Men said I nay that I lye playne But vyle wretches abhomynable Ye wyll not sticke to spende quickly Twentie marke to do your neighbour iniurie But for Gods sake to spende an halfpeny ye thynke it is right chargeable ¶ But what soeuer your Bawdes wyll craue She néede but a●ke and she shall haue Though other therfore ye poll and shaue Me thinkes this thing full yll doth frame For body and gooddes ye consume in waste That the Deuyll wyll haue ye all at the last Without ye take t●me ere tyme be past For to repent and amende for shame ¶ And if ye must néedes satisfie The Deuyllysh appetite of your body Take a wyfe of your owne in Matrymonie And none other man to beguyle But ye regarde not what wretched lyfe What shame and wo what dayly stryfe Ye make betwene the man and the wyfe so ye obtayne your purpose vyle ¶ And ye that haue the Gift to lyue chaste Looke ye spende not your gooddes in waste ●easte God take vengeance of you in haste And withdrawe from you his grace Reléeue the same and the blinde that ye sée Bestow well your talent after your degrée So that your liuing may not a stumblyng Block bee To hinder other in this case ¶ But now for a conclusion finall These Bawdes are the cause of mischiefes all That I pray God foule might they fall Except they shortly amende For my minde is not able to expresse Halfe their mischiefe and vnhappinesse That I beseeche God of his goodnesse All vertuous people from them defende ¶ O ye women that vertuous bée Ladyes and Gen yl women of euery degrée I pray you hartely to pardon mee If I haue written or said amisse But all my purpose is only Your worshyp to saue and honestie Wherfore I promys you faithfully I haue not sayd but as it is ¶ And if I haue in any condicion Spoken that that displeaseth any good person I commyt mee to their correction Beseechyng God of his infinite grace Wheras we haue lyued viciously We may amende through his great mercy And with him to reigne eternally In his celestiall place ¶ Finis An Exclamacion of
